Abstract in brief

  • The study introduces the concept of sexual narcissism, a specific form of narcissism related to sexual attitudes and behaviors, and develops the Sexual Narcissism Scale to measure its four components: Sexual Exploitation, Sexual Entitlement, Low Sexual Empathy, and Sexual Skill.
  • Research findings show that sexual narcissism is linked to increased reports of various types of sexual aggression, such as unwanted sexual contact, coercion, and attempted or completed rape, and also predicts the likelihood of future sexual aggression.
  • In contrast, global (general) narcissism does not relate to sexual aggression when sexual narcissism is accounted for, highlighting the importance of domain-specific measures over broad personality assessments in understanding sexual behavior and violence.]
